  • Abstract
    A new planar transponder integrating a self-oscillating mixer (SOM) and active antennas is presented. The receiving active antenna combines a FET SOM with a patch antenna and the transmitting antenna is combined with the IF amplifier. The transponder was successfully operated up to 2 m. The design concept and the experimental result are discussed.<>
